The Mater Dolorosa Blog By Alan Frost A traditionalist, anti-modernist blog, ‘Mater Dolorosa’, has recently been launched by a young man well-known to the LMS for his service on the altar at Solemn High Masses at Holywell, New Brighton and Warrington since his teenage years. In his teens he also attended the LMS Summer Schools, very much supported by his family. Michael Haynes is a traditional Catholic, author and writer, living in the North-West of England. He received his school education using the Seton home-schooling programme from the U.S.A, as well as studying in a boarding school in Pennsylvania run by the American TFP. Growing up serving the Latin Mass, he developed a love for the traditional liturgy and teachings of the Church. For the past five years he has studied philosophy and theology in Ireland, America and back home in England. With an initial focus on Mariology, he self-published a book entitled Mary, the Motherly Co- Redemptrix, with a forward by Bishop Schneider (available on

lulu.com). Michael has had a long interest in the subject of Mary as CoRedemptrix and was able to develop his academic thesis into the work. A larger work on spirituality is due in the upcoming months as well as future anti-modernist writings. The purpose of the Mater Dolorosa blog is to present the traditional teaching of the Church, as found in the magisterium and in the writings of the saints and mystics and in the Doctors of the Church. Michael argues that “in a time where confusion and error are all too easily found, there is a need for spiritual reflections which are drawn from Tradition, rather than from modernism.” As such the articles seek to present reflections on the texts of the Mass for Sundays and principle feasts. There are and will be also essays that are more apologetic and anti-modernist than spiritual, which highlight and comment on particular crises in the Church and the world at large.
